Honey Lavender Scones

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
• 2 12 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan add heavy cream, honey and lavender buds. Warm over medium / low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let chill at room temperature.
3. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the butter is broken down into the flour mix forming a crumbly mix.
4. Whisk egg into cooled cream/lavender mix and pour into flour mixture. With a fork combine ingredients (don't over mix).
5. Put dough on a lightly floured surface and kneed until dough is combined (10-12 strokes). Gently form dough into a 10 x 4 inch rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise and cut each side into the shape of a triangles (6 per side). Place on prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart and brush with heavy cream. Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with additional honey or lemon curd.
